Today's Gift

Only when we humbly ask
for help are we ready to receive it.

On occasion, our problems seem overwhelming, and we
don't know where to turn. Our job is stressful. Our health is failing. But many
of us face no truly threatening situations, and we still have problems. Being
alive, being human, means having experiences that trouble us.

It's hard to ask for help when we are in a
troubling situation because we fear that means we are inadequate. After all, we
are grown men and women who have taken care of others and ourselves for years.
We don't have the wisdom to handle every situation, and yet we think we
should.

Seeking guidance from friends, family, and our
Higher Power gets easier with practice. Asking for help is a learned behavior.
And practice we must!

But just as important as the seeking is the
receiving. Are we actually open to the wisdom offered? Do we want it badly
enough to truly listen to the guidance?

I will open my heart to my Higher Power's
wisdom today and find help for whatever troubles me.
